Book published by unknown publisher REVIEWS:“This autobiography helps the reader to understand the international film scene of the 1960s and 1970s from the point of view of a very lucky witness, a young photographer traveling between Europe and America.” —Lorenzo Codelli, Italian film archivist and author of World Film Locations: Singapore “My Life in Focus offers a unique look at the business of filmmaking and the perils of celebrity during the 1960s and 1970s. Bozzacchi tells his tale in a voice that gives life to his recollection and places these events in a thoughtful context that makes them more than mere anecdotes about the rich and famous.” —Douglass K. Daniel, writer and editor with the Associated Press and author of Tough as Nails: The Life and Films of Richard Brooks “This book is full of fascinating revelations, even for someone like myself who has been a close friend of Gianni’s for nearly 50 years.” —Christopher Wilding, Elizabeth Taylor's son “I was pleased to have Gianni on the set of my film The Last Days of Mussolini. He made some wonderful images. Reading his book gives you the pleasure of knowing Gianni and sharing the words expressed by Pablo Picasso on his work: "His photographs are full of human warmth and his black and white is full of color.” —Carlo Lizzani, Italian film director, screenwriter, and critic “An extraordinary book about a young boy in neorealismo post–World War II Rome who, through the lens of a camera, grows up to photograph the great stars of cinema and royalty, and lives La Dolce Vita.” —Jay Kanter, former chairman of production and Chief Operating Officer of MGM-Pathe/MGM Communications “My Life in Focus is an endearing account from a man with a healthy attitude toward stardom, well aware, first hand, of the prison of fame. As a photographer, he allowed the light to capture the moment and balanced craft with art. ” —Shepherd Express “Bozzacchi also includes interesting adventures and observations about Princess Grace, Bardot, Virna Lisi, Chanel, Sophia Loren, Raquel Welch. ” —Liz Smith, New York Social Diary |
